Will sell singles. These are all in mint condition. Have always been capsulized and in climate controlled storage.  Right now taking offers. May end up doing auctions..we shall see.

I don’t know all the names off hand or mintages. I know the guy faux btc/eth combo is pretty limited (100 maybe), the 1.337 Factom Coin is pretty limited as well. I’ll add more info as time permits.

One day I’ll learn how to take decent photos.

 

If you want to sell- I’d sell it on eBay. Prob get way more. Set a high price or reserve. But Don’t sell to newer members , make sure they’ve got something like at least 2-3 years of being there with 5-10 positive feedback , no negatives.

My father was a big gambler. Not a big gambler in the sense that he would blow his money, because he was incredibly intelligent and highly successful, he just enjoyed games of skill, but his main game was Black Jack. He must have read 10 blackjack books that I wound see laying around o it bookshelf. He taught me card games and I fell in love with a few of them,

Yeah I’m not sure that you’re really an “investor” if you’re not holding the assets for a period of time, or putting them towards something that is going to help them grow that bitcoin “investment” that they made. Someone who just buys bitcoin and then uses it to pay for items goods or services, in my opinion, aren’t really investing, but are “supporting” it.

Banks are going to try and do whatever it takes to stay a float, or a head of the game, so to speak. If they see or discover an opportunity to be able to add another service that fits in pretty well with their business model, then they are likely to do so. People still trust banks, whether they should or not, so for the banks themselves this makes a lot of sense of what not to miss out on (another way to make money).

I think the main thing is that most people whom bet sports aren’t really as knowledgeable about the sports they are betting on as much as they think they are. A lot of people will also just make bets on sports games just to have some “action” on something that day. Those are both two recipes for disaster but people tend to not be able to control themselves.

He’s certainly the most hyped player since Lebron James. I Remember when Lebrons high school basketball games were being broadcasted by ESPN, I had never seen a player that hyped before or sense, or at least until Wemby came around.

The NBA takes time get the hang of and Wemby will be just fine in my opinion, he’s just going to have some growing pains.

I was looking for such a board here just yesterday. I constantly have these types of questions, often involving btc stuff , and so rarely does it fall under GMax’s & Achow’s tech boards.  Neither have the time to discuss my simpleton questions anyhow I’m sure.

I do a lot of research stuff on scams that’s for the community here (mainly collectible related) , but Im constantly running in to questions in this realm (when is it okay to accept cookies, what browser is best for what, how to more efficiently search for connected websites, is it okay to use my phone for this or that or should I be on a secured PC  etc etc).  

I could google this stuff right?.. I have no idea if what I research is legit info or a well designed ad or some idiots blog that does a good job at boosting themselves on google searches…But I know forum members like Loyce (for example) are knowledgeable Mr Robot types often willing to  help others like myself.  

Jet I’m late but happy birthday my friend.  Cheers to many more !

The breakdown -

Someone came here and said something to the effect of “holy shit my Sol Noctis Bull coin had btc funds moved off of it and I never peeled”. Coin was sent to LesbianCow who , and I’m a little fussy here but , basically confirmed that in fact the coin was truly never peeled. What’s craziest of all is the coins were moved them shortly after (not sure on exact length, maybe few days at most I believe) were sent back. LesbianCow spoke with the sellers/creators (PowerCoin I believe) who asked he send the coin to them. He did so. PC essentially brushed it under the rug and provided no legitimate response to the whole situation, ever.

So, yea, Sol Noctis Bull Coins, should be considered compromised. Someone obviously stored the keys, or at the very least one private key, which we all know one is all it takes for trust.

Apparently for coin one, the owl, they used someone else for key generation. Imo they should not be trusted either, as the seller is incompetent or part of the issue/compromise/potential future rug pull.

I refuse to buy any product for them as they were super shady about that whole thing. I remember they posted one of the Bull coins for either auction or raffle on instagram. I chimed in about the situation and my comment was deleted, later the post was.

This is all from memory, I will double check for story inaccuracies which I know for a fact if any are minimal and this is indeed exactly what transpired.

My opinion- having done a lot of scam researching in this space, I believe the absolutely ridiculous redemption process was done so on purpose. Why? I think they don’t want people redeeming them. There were SEVERAL Mr Robots around here who couldn’t figure out how to redeem these coins (Yogg and satoshighost I believe had tried but were also confused), and while one of these two is a scammer themselves (Yogg, of course), they are both highly technical programmers. This last part again, is my opinion.

Edit - “ top world coin” NOT power coin. My apologies.

I imagine Elon had plans to buy some other things but that Twitter purchase was quite pricey, and I'm not sure that he really even wanted to purchase Twitter in the first place ( he obviously tried to get out of the contracts ).  Someone brought up in another channel that he's currently in the process of purchasing a money transmitting license.  So it sounds like he's going to try and create some sort of Cash App type deal and potentially integrate it with Twitter.

Other than this, I'm not sure what else he might get his hands in to.  He might become like Bezos and buy all sorts of things than have nothing to do with one another.  I don't understand how this guy runs his businesses though when he's trolling all day on twitter.

Even though I absolutely can't stand Elon Musk , and I think he's overall a narcistic lunatic who absolutely loves himself, he is a smart businessman and he does have some experience in this space, being one of the former owners of PayPal.  I think Elon sees an opportunity in that he's got this big social network with millions of subscribers and he's got this amazing platform to be able to market some new business ventures and being that he's got experience in the money transmitting space, this would be a no brainer for him. 

My guess is he would implement both crypto and traditional payments.

I certainly agree with your overall sentiment here.  As I've stated about 10 billion times here, I'm a financial advisor by trade, and this is the type of topic that comes up quite often.  One should always have traditional investments stored up and on track for retirement.  This could be a mix of things like stocks, bonds, etc.  Diversification is key, as well as taking risk, where appropriate.  I always talk about those "home run" bets.  These are bets ( or investments ) that you make with money that you're okay with losing, or taking a big hit on, knowing that they could be home run investments, and so if you win great, but if not, you knew you were trying to hit a home run and just swung and struck out.   Make trades when it makes sense!

It sounds like that's your problem, betting too much.  If you want to get to 1,000,000, than do so carefully.  One of my favorite financial books I've ever bought/read was titled "How to get rich carefully".  It is a play on the words "get rich quick".  Strong and steady, but not taking too huge of risk tend to be a better route.  If you win 80, save 40 of it, and bet the other 40, and so on.  I know it's easier said than done but that's just my two.

Players flopping is definitely not fun to watch, and even though I don't watch a whole lot of European football (or soccer as we call it) I know players flop in that sport as well and everyone hates it there too.  It's certainly going to make a good amount of players have to change up their game a bit.  I know Lebron is pretty famous for flopping, and as he get's older, not being able to do so as much will be interesting to witness.

I don't think there was ever a time where things were easy for the modern man.  As others have mentioned here in the United States we have gone through two major economic breakdowns in the last 100 years.  That would be both the Great Depression as well as the Great Recession, which was just back in 2008. 

We are going through tough times right now.  There's a lot of work that needs to be done.  It's also to keep in mind not all countries are the same.  Here in the United States jobs often do raise the salary for employees to help keep up with inflation.  Now don't get me wrong, this isn't always the case, but it is in many.

There are a couple alt-coins that are decent, and have actual real case utility.  That's the thing about bitcoin which makes it such a special coin, it actually has utility.  It solves modern day, here and now problem, by present at solution to the way money works.  That's the problem with 99% of these alt-coins, or shitcoins..being a more appropriate world  I have a lot of clients who will tell me they own bitcoin, and often they own a handful of ridiculous shitcoins that have zero utility and they often have no idea what the coins are and what they are meant for.  Bitcoin, again, as legit utility, and in more ways than just one.

I think this is probably a good rule or I should say "rules" that the league is planning to implement next year.  I do get pretty tired of seeing players flop, and it honestly ruins the game in my opinion.  Obviously flopping is cheating, and when players get away with it, getting a chance at free shots..it just drives me nuts.  There's some players that rely on flopping as a big part of their game, can't wait to see how their games evolve around this.

I traveled to Berkley California a few years ago to stay with a buddy at his uncles house.  While making the trip we made our way up to Lake Tahoe and I remember having an absolute blast and being able to gamble a little bit even though I was only 20 years old at the time.  I was surprised to see that there were other states outside of California that actually allowed for those under 21 years of age to gamble.

I may have enjoyed gambling being under 21, but I think the age should stick to 21.  People tend to be pretty immature even at that age, so I'm not sure it's wise for 18-19 year old's to be given that much freedom.

Having been active on this board for several years now, I certainly do appreciate getting fresh perspectives from people.  I haven't changed up my gambling "routine", so to speak, too much, but it has helped me in certain aspects as well as I've been able to discover a few new gambling websites that I wasn't aware of beforehand.

I do appreciate all the good advice that's given here though.  I don't have a ton to contribute outside of a few areas, so I certainly am appreciative to those who do.
